Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Seattle

You decide where each session happens in Seattle. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Capitol Hill, Ballard and Fremont, or offer both and let the owner pick on each request.

At your place

Owners bring the pet to you. The address is not part of the request: it is shared in chat, the same way it works for drop-in visits in Seattle.

At the owner's home

Travel to the pet with your kit. You set a home-visit radius of 3, 5, 10 or 20 km, whether you work the stretch from Ballard to Beacon Hill or stay near Capitol Hill.

Dogs you will meet in Seattle

Owners in Seattle often keep Australian Shepherd, Labrador and Goldendoodle. Price your full groom for each dog size, and send a custom offer before payment when a coat needs more work than the request suggested.

Why groom on Petme

Built for professional groomers in Seattle

You set every price

Each session carries your own price per dog size. If a pet needs more work than the request suggested, you send a custom offer before the owner pays.

Your hours, your days

There are no shifts. Owners pick from the start times you open, so grooming fits around a salon job, studies or your other Petme bookings.

A reviewed bar

Every Petme groomer is an approved sitter who also passed a grooming review: paid experience, proof and before-and-after work.

Are dog grooming jobs hiring near me in Seattle?

How do I get more grooming clients in Seattle?
Show your grooms to the people closest to you. Petme is a social app as well as a pet-care app: your posts reach nearby owners first in their home feed, and an owner in Seattle who likes your work can follow you and open your profile.
How do I become a dog groomer on Petme in Seattle?
Become a Petme sitter first: be 18 or over, have the Petme app and pass ID verification. Then send the grooming application with your experience, one proof, 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs and 3 declarations. If it is not approved, you can apply again after 15 days and groom in Seattle once accepted.
What does a Petme groomer do in Seattle?
Every session comes from your own menu: a full groom, a bath and brush or nails only, plus any extras you offer. Each request includes the pet's size, coat condition, vaccination status and the owner's notes, and the address is shared in chat, whether the session is at your place or at a home near Fremont.
Do I need experience to get a dog grooming job in Seattle?
Yes. Grooming on Petme needs at least 6 months of paid, professional grooming, backed by a certificate, an employer reference or a link to your work. While you build that experience in Seattle, you can offer other pet care as a Petme sitter and apply for grooming later.
How much do dog groomers make on Petme in Seattle?
It depends on the prices you set, because Petme has no fixed grooming rate in Seattle. Each session on your menu (full groom, bath and brush, nails only) has its own price per dog size, plus a price for cats if you groom them, and extras like de-shedding are priced per pet.
Can I work as a mobile dog groomer in Seattle?
Yes. You choose where you groom: at your own place, at the owner's home, or both. For home visits you pick a radius of 3, 5, 10 or 20 km, so you can stay close to Capitol Hill or cover a wider part of Seattle.
Can I do dog grooming part time in Seattle?
Yes. You open the start times you want in the app, a request can only use those times, and each request shows the service and how long it runs. That lets you groom around a salon job, studies or other Petme sitting in Seattle.
